Yeah, so? That river was completely dredged about 10 years ago, and
they have gone back and done additional dreging in trouble spots since
then. There was a pretty big dredging there of the entrance channel in
2008. It's not like so many other harbors that haven't been dredged at
all since the 1960's.


Your point is the river requires frequent dredging?


Perhaps the corps of engineers could have spent a little of that money
figuring out how to fix the underlying problem, rather than endlessly
****ing it away. If you ever visit that place, you should be able to
figure it out very quickly without spending millions of dollars on a
study.
